I see the line right now is -3.5 Kansas City. Any thoughts on the line possibly moving before the game? I am a little worried about it possibly moving to -3 or -4, so hesitant to place anything at the moment.

Should it not be -6.5 or a full touchdown? However, it might move to -3 when thousands of fans begin betting their money on the goat Tom Brady hehe.

@Hueristic. I speculate Las Vegas Raiders. They wanted an old star quarterback last year hehehe. They might try again.

How are you guys gonna watch the game? I watched half of the Bills/KC game at a bar and I dunno if I could handle a Super Bowl there without thinking about covid the whole time. I sat by myself in a corner facing the TV -- most of the people there did look like covid deniers. I never really knew what to look for before but I just got that feeling.
We used to have a small SB party with a few friends and family members and during the last 5 years it was at my home so it had become as some sort of tradition, while it was fun it was also a pain as I did not got to watch the game as I wanted as I was attending the guests and I did not watch the full game until a day or two later, obviously this is not going to be possible now due to the circumstances but it seems they want to have some sort of Zoom party, it is not really my style but if they want I might as well do it.



LOL. Every. Single. Time.



Deshaun Watson has formally requested a trade, the Texans are in deep trouble Deshaun wants out no matter what and has made it official, and while he is a good player it seems the starting price is 3 first round picks which is a very high price, and while the Jaguars, Dolphins and the Jets could pay it somewhat, the Jaguars could get an even better player in Lawrence, the Jets have so many holes they need the picks to build a competitive roster, and the Dolphins have in Tua a player similar to Allen, he will take some time and coaching but he has a lot of potential, so while those 3 teams are the ones with the most mentions I think that if he is indeed traded it could be to another team which offers players instead of picks, but there is one thing we know, this soap opera is just starting.

Right now I am waiting to see where most of the money is going. I am thinking about putting some money on the Bucs only because of the Brady factor. To be honest I'm still undecided on which team to bet on as I was liking the Chiefs a lot until we got the news that Eric fisher will miss. Maybe its best to go with a couple prop bets this year and one that I fancy if the Bucs win is Brady to win the MVP. Anyone here looking at any prop bets right now?

What's funny (or not so funny) is that a lot of bars are closed still but if they have kitchens and serve food, they can remain open, and you can eat and drink your beer (perhaps even smoke a cig) without having to wear your mask. This particular bar was open but the kitchen was closed -- I guess so long as they have the kitchen they're good to go?

Anyway, it's been an interesting season with new challenges, but in a way, just as entertaining as the others. Lots of kings made and changes of guard coming up. I have no idea who's gonna win the big game but I leave you with a meme I was compelled to make.

Just read LT Eric fisher is now out with Achilles tear.  Thats big.  Chiefs are down a couple starting lineman.  That coupled with jpp and shaq coming off the edges could be a bit of a problem for the chiefs.  Shluld be another interesting SB  Smiley

This will be an interesting Super Bowl as the last team to go back to back was the Patriots and now we have Brady trying to stop the Chiefs from going back to back. Something is telling me that Brady will pull it off and win his 7th Super Bowl championship but I just can't go against the Chiefs as they have the experience in the big game where as the Bucs might find the occasion overwhelming.

The game was disappointing, the Bills never really had too much of a chance, Allen was under pressure all game and had no time to find his receivers, Mahomes looked good even if I still think he is not 100% recovered of his toe, unfortunately KC lost their left tackle for good and will not play the SB.


For the NFL experts. Does Tom Brady have better players around him with Tampa Bay than with the Patriots? They are 2nd in passing yards during the regular season. Did Bill Belichick make a misjudgement on upgrading his quarterback?
The receiving core on Tampa Bay is probably top 3 in the league while the receiving core on NE is the worst in the entire league, I will be honest even with Brady there I do not think NE could have made it to the playoffs, so from a purely team building perspective it makes some sort sense to let Brady go and begin the rebuild a year earlier, however this was done when there was no one behind Brady to take the team and Belichick had to hire Cam which was a disaster.

Agreed. The end of Josh Allen’s season. I bet on the Bills +3. I thought Mahomes’ neck injury or the news of his neck injury would cause him not to play good for the whole game hehe.

Also, Tom Brady the goat. You cannot hate on him.

Well, I'm 0 for 2 on the day, and blew my wad.  Actually I have 0.5mBTC left to invest in the big game.  Doesn't look like sportsbet.io is buying me a new truck this year, maybe next year.

Not the game I expected or wanted to see, but it'll be a good game none the less.  I predict the Chiefs will win, so now you all know to bet on the Bucs.

They just can't stop Kelce, can they. I guess I'm not gonna get my +6.5 out of this.

Me no expert so my opinion on this consists of two words: Bruce Arians.

Got a TD and a doink out of it, not bad Smiley

Mixed feelings for me, i really wanted to see Green Bay make the SB, Rodgers got the stops that he wanted but he couldn't convert on a few good opportunities.
This loss is on Rodgers, after the fumble the GB defence only allowed 3 points and made 3 INTs, that should be more than enough to get a win, also I did not liked at all the play calling of the Bucs, instead of trying to get first downs and kill some clock they kept trying to push the ball down the field and that is how GB got 2 of the 3 INTs, however those interceptions came on long passes that basically served the same function as if the Bucs had just punted the ball a down earlier.


So is Belicheck Shanahan thinking right now how he can get his hands on Rogers? Smiley

FIFY!  Grin

I imagine any coach in the league would love to have him.  I doubt that Green Bay will let him go after the season he just had.  Even if they sign him for a year or franchise him, if that's an option.
Rodgers still has contract until 2023 and will be an UFA in 2024 but they can always apply the tag if the Jordan Love experiment does not work.

Edit: TD! 9-0 for the Bills, they failed the extra point.

Well, this one is over and so is the Packer's season.  Tom Brady goes to the superbowl, who scripted that?

And he knocked out two other veteran QBs on his way to it. Well done, mainly because he just won me $500 LOL.

Lol, good job!  That crusty old fucker, he lost me 1mBTC!   Wink

Anyway, congrats to Buccaneers fans and Brady, he did it, another SB to his resume, simply amazing!

At least my bet hit!  Cheesy
